Selection of optimal spawner‑pairs based on the polymorphism of microsatellite loci in a partially‑tetraploid fish species (Coregonus lavaretus)

Abstract

how to adapt this technique to the selection of spawner pairs for restocking populations of partially tetraploid fish species. To test our calculation techniques, we used actual data on the polymorphism of the loci of captured whitefish (Coregonus lavaretus). The data enabled calculations showing which spawner pairs would create the most genetically diverse cohort of offspring if they were bred. The method presented in the paper can be used for breeding fish in aquaculture conditions to help conserve species.
